Eight countries welcomed the decision by Britain to ban imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank and impose restrictions on some services, adding that they hoped the move would mobilize other countries to take similar action.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Indonesia, and Jordan also said they welcomed the joint statement by 12 countries on the need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The ministers “reiterate their call for Israel to rescind all measures taken in connection with settlement activities and other measures aimed at altering the geographic and demographic character of the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” the statement said.
This is a developing story.
